Why This Book?
Throughout the years, being in close contact with the traditional world of Āyurveda in India, I repeatedly noticed the gap between this approach, the diversity of offerings, and the perception of Āyurveda.
Āyurveda is often extracted from its context and reduced to individual aspects. These observations finally led to writing this book.
The subtitle, “Myths and Tradition,” refers specifically to these differences—not to pass judgment, but to make the background more understandable and to broaden our perspective on traditional Āyurveda.
Among the topics covered in this book are:
Fundamentals:
The origins and fundamental principles of Āyurveda
The spiritual dimension of traditional Āyurvedic treatment
The Treatment:
The course of a treatment, including its different phases
Practical guidance on preparing for treatment and navigating the treatment process
Guidance:
How to choose a suitable clinic
Common misconceptions about Āyurveda from a traditional perspective
